Take a look at this video right after looking at the flying lemur above. The resmblance is uncanny.

They look more like flying lemmings to me.

Can someone explain to me why it's trendy to leap off a cliff, accelerate to >120mph , exist at the mercy of a breeze (or lack of one) and have near collisions with a craggy mountainside but no new people want to hang glide? I guess we're caught in the twilight zone - too risky for most, not risky enough for the rest.

And the lemming leap is a fable; even rodents are smarter than that.

Ah well, to each his own!
